April 12, 2026The Highlight of Our Entire Evening
We hired Joe for a special evening while my Dad was visiting from out of town, and it truly made the night unforgettable. The music created such a warm, welcoming atmosphere, and the song choices were perfect for bringing everyone together. My Dad absolutely loved it - it meant a lot to be able to share that experience with him. At 93, my dad can still dance the polka! Joe was incredibly professional, easy to work with and really understood the vibe we were going for. Highly recommend for any gathering where you want something memorable and personal! Thank you Joe!

What to expect
My solo performances are audience-engaging and cater to the audience in both intimate and large settings. They can be of a close-up or large venue format and can be concert in nature or informal entertainment. They usually include both instrumental and vocal selections and direct contact with the audience. I also perform for events requiring both background music and direct audience engaging entertainment.
I perform a variety of music, both instrumental with some vocals, and cover many genres of music. In addition to a wide and varied repertoire, my passion is to perform unique signature and unusual novelty arrangements, sometimes covering on a single instrument the music of an entire band or group. In addition to the variety of traditional and romantic Euro-ethnic music, my audiences will be surprised by the robust and diverse sounds they see and hear coming from me and my instrument live....there is nothing prerecorded or canned in my delivery.
